Had to break this one apart. It was a nose and mouth thing.

End of summer, still time for tomatoes. This tomato pie is such a humble dish that celebrates the heirloom and yes all the cheese 🧀 🍅 open Sundays 5-9!

Come try an El Diablo! Trader Vic’s 1940s tiki mule features blanco tequila, creme de cassis, ginger beer, and lime. On special this weekend!

Happy Mother’s Day to the Southern Crescent chef and owner, Lucinda Ewell, who makes Mother’s Day a celebration of dreams, talent, hard work and success that transcends beyond traditional “motherhood” into the creation of a local institution. We hope this place can live forever in our memories and yours. We love you lulu! ⚜️

Not only is it Mother’s Day, it’s our 8th anniversary!! So we’ve decided to take the opportunity for a night off. In the words of head chef and co-owner Lucinda Ewell, “nobody wants to eat a Po’ Boy on Mother’s Day.” And we’re all looking forward to some well earned relaxation and family time. Cheers to Lucinda and Ian, and Happy Mother’s Day to all!

We’re planning something fun to celebrate our anniversary next weekend, stay tuned!

Did you know? All our Po’ Boy and Muffuletta bread comes from and in New Orleans! Just one of the many ways we strive to bring you the authentic Big Easy experience. Pictured is the Gator Sausage Po’ Boy, with sautéed peppers and onions and creole mustard. Stop by and try one this weekend! 🐊

Warm but overcast - feels like a Ti’ Punch kind of day. A funky rum old fashioned hailing from the island of Martinique. Perfect for slow sipping on the veranda this evening.

Patio season is finally in full effect this weekend! Give us a call to book one of our cabanas for you and the whole crew - they’re perfect for groups of 6-10 people. But don’t be afraid to just come on by either, we’ve always got room for walk-ins!

Tomorrow is Donn Beach’s 117th birthday! To celebrate we’re offering three of his lesser known “rhum rhapsodies” for only 12 bucks! Come on out and celebrate the late, great godfather of tiki, the man, the myth, the legend that started it all.

Nui Nui - amber Virgin Islands rum, lime, orange, cinnamon, Don’s spices #2, bitters

Test Pilot - dark Jamaican rum, light rum, lime, falernum, curaçao, Pernod, bitters

Doctor Funk - light rum, lime, grenadine, Pernod, soda

TOMORROW IS MARDI GRAS! We’ll be open 5-10 PM, and are thrilled to be hosting the Adrian Duke Band, playing 6-9:30ish. Plus we’ll be slinging Hurricanes and Sazeracs, , free beads, and delicious New Orleans cuisine all night! Important info below:

All of our reservations are booked, but we are allowing space for walk-ins on a first come first serve basis. Even if all tables are full, there will be standing room for drinks and watching the band, but you will need to have a table or bar seat if you want to order food.

We can’t wait to see you all! Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Mardi Gras is less than two weeks away, and we’re bringing Adrian Duke and his band back to town for our biggest party of the year! If you’ve seen them before, you’ve surely been blown away by the Richmond-based singer’s incredible voice reminiscent of Ray Charles and Dr. John, and the band’s adept abilities in playing everything from jazz, soul, rock and roll and beyond. Fat Tuesday is February 13, we’ll be open 5-10, with music from 6-10ish. Get your reservations in to secure that perfect spot, or just walk on in!

We’re getting a little sneak preview of patio weather today! Seems like a great reason to offer $8 Mojitos all night long -give us a call to reserve a cabana or fire pit, or just walk on in!

You may know us as ‘the place with all the rum’, but we’ve got some great new bourbons for you as well! Stop by and try one of these exceptional whiskeys, or share a flight with a friend or two.

Cozy up with a hot bowl of soup this weekend! We’ve got three specials to join our hearty gumbo and offer you a soul-soothing soup for every palate, from vegan chili to southern-style chicken soup, and Dolly Parton’s Legendary Stampede Soup (asparagus, leeks, peas, green beans, heavy cream).

This frigid weather calls for Hot Zombies! Like a tikified Hot Buttered Rum, it combines Gold Puerto Rican Rum, fresh lime juice, passionfruit syrup, pineapple juice, butter, and brown sugar, with a flaming float of 151 on top. Slide on in and try one this weekend!
